If doesn't find "pid" format bits, should it mean the kernel is
running an old version so doesn't support "pid" entry?  It's good to
add comment for this.

The comment is not alignment with the code.  Based on the comment, the
code should be:

                if (!BMVAL(val, 29, 30) || BMVAL(val, 10, 14) != 4) {

I don't understand what's the reason for introducing the new macros
"ETM_SET_OPT_XXX", seems to me the old macros still can be used at
here.  Could you help explian for this?

Thanks,
